“It was Wang Lung's marriage day.”

“Now, five years is nothing in a man's life except when he is very young and very old...- Wang Lung”

“Sometimes it isn't easy to be sane, smart, and responsible. Sometimes it sucks. Sucks wang. Camel wang. But that doesn't turn wrong into right or stupid into smart.”

“I hope he and she that was Miss Wang Wang are very happy together, sitting cross-legged over dimenitive cups of tea in a sky-blue tower hung with bells.”

“Another glorious day, the air as delicious to the lungs as nectar to the tongue.”

“Sesungguhnya cinta, seni dan imaginasi bukanlah kerjaya orang kaya. Orang kaya mengubah cinta menjadi wang, mengubah seni menjadi wang, mengubah imaginasi menjadi wang. Orang kaya hanya menikmati satu kerjaya sahaja iaitu: menjadi orang kaya. Cinta, seni dan imaginasi ialah kerjaya orang miskin!”
